It was this past Thursday that soon to be former Democrat Senator Joe Manchin stopped by to pay a little visit to one of ‘Fox News’ more prominent NeverTrumpers, Bret Baier, appearing on FNC’s “Special Report.” And it was then that the outgoing senator addressed speculation that he would be seeking the White House as a third-party candidate in 2024. Now it might be worth mentioning that Manchin is an “outgoing” senator for the very simple reason that he decided not to run for re-election because most recent polls seem to indicate that if he had, in fact, chosen to run he most likely would have ended up going down in a rather spectacular defeat.
And yet, oddly enough, he thinks himself worthy of
being president and apparently views himself as being a far better option than the
two currently leading contenders. It was during this recent exchange that Manchin
gave low marks to the two parties’ frontrunners, *president Joey and President
Trump. And he told Baier that he had little confidence in either and warned of severe
consequences if President Trump were to win a second term. And, of course,
being no fan of President Trump himself, Baier did little more than to simply
nod his head in agreement. After all, he certainly wasn’t going to disagree
with anyone talking badly about President Trump.
Manchin said, “Well, first of all, we don’t know on
Super Tuesday who the two candidates may be on the Democrat and Republican side.”
And he then went on to say, “But right now, I guess all odds are they will be
Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And I’m as honest as I can be with you, Bret. I
believe that Donald Trump being elected again would destroy democracy as we
know it. I — I’m concerned. I’m very scared because he’s already said what he
would do. He’s going to use the power of the office for revenge. He’s going to
basically — he doesn’t believe that — the only election — what he believes is,
the only fair election is the one he won."
Manchin continued, “And he doesn’t believe in the
rule of law, to where the law only pertains to everybody but him.” He added, “It’s
a horrible situation.” He said, “And I just — I’m scared of that. That would
destroy our country as I know it. And Joe Biden is not the person when he came
there saying, I know how it works, I can bring the country together, I’m a
centrist. Well, he’s pulled clear far to the left. So, let’s see what happens.
Will anybody change? I don’t know. Will the rhetoric change? But if we don’t
mobilize the moderate, sensible, what — we’re going to call them the radical
middle, OK, the radical middle.” A Democrat talking about rhetoric, too funny!!!
Manchin went on to say, “Those are people that make
commonsense decisions, that run their life, that run their family, that run
their businesses, from the center-left, center-right, not from the extremes.”
He concluded saying, “And that’s what’s happened.” And added, “And the business
in Washington is too darn good. The Republican business and the Democrat
business is pretty darn good here. And they’re not going to change their model.
So, unless we push it, it’s not going to — nothing will change.” On the
contrary, nothing will change until those within Manchin’s own party are finally
held accountable for their win-at-all-costs approach to elections.
I can’t think of any reason why President Trump might
want to take revenge, can you? I mean, I can’t think of why he might believe that
the law only applies to him and not to the Democrats, can you? Let’s face it, President
Trump has been the target of vengeful Democrats ever since he was first elected,
if not even before. We are sick of this two-tiered justice system we have where
laws only apply to conservatives and not to liberals. What President Trump will
do is not revenge, but only the setting of things back in the proper order. If
elected, he should do exactly what he promised to do the first time, drain the
swamp! That, my friends, is exactly what Manchin is afraid of.
Manchin’s idiotic comments prove only that he refuses
to acknowledge the level of destruction that has already occurred in America,
and primarily at the hands of those in his own party. And after all that has
transpired over the course of the last three years, especially when you
consider where things were when Joey first set foot in the Oval Office, for
Manchin to claim that electing President Trump would bring the end of
‘democracy,’ is simply ludicrous. But thankfully, what we have here is not a ‘democracy,’
we have a constitutional republic. And if Mr. Manchin doesn’t know the
difference, then I’m afraid that he is nothing more than part of a serious
problem.
On the contrary, instead of bringing about the end of
‘democracy,’ a Trump re-election would more than likely bring about that which
would be the beginning of the end of the Establishment and of the Deep State.
That’s what has those like Manchin so terrified. Corruption in our federal government
is now dangerously rampant. Granted, while President Trump may not have
succeeded in completely draining ‘the swamp’ during his previous time in
office, he was, at least, able to drain it to the point where so many of the swamp
rats, previously able to operate with some level of anonymity, were forced out
into the full light of day becoming visible for all to see.
Manchin says President Trump would ruin ‘democracy’ by
somehow seeking revenge, but he says little to explain how? President Trump’s
list of accomplishments during his first term in office are there for all to
see and millions of Americans benefitted, regardless of race, gender or sexual
persuasion. Our economy was booming, our borders were more secure than they had
been in decades, American was also made to be energy independent for the first
time in decades, inflation was low, regulations were reduced, foreign powers
were controlled, our military was made powerful, and much more. And yet this is
the man that Manchin claims is a danger to democracy?
I am sick and tired of Democrats using their mantra
of “the end of our Democracy”, for everything that doesn’t suit them. Seems
like it’s far too easy to use that nonsense as justification for anything they
do to hang on to power. It’s nothing but fear mongering, and they know it. They
promise to “govern for all” with “centrist policies”. The only problem is that
the Democrats, including Manchin, have now swung so far left that anything
close to center is now to be considered to be “far right extremism.” What’s so
ironic about Manchin’s claim is that the Democrats sought vengeance the moment
Trump was elected President, and they’ve yet to stop.
Manchin knows President Trump has plenty of reasons
to seek revenge. What the Democrats, along with their media sycophants, have
done to President Trump is evil. Of course, Democrats are afraid of another Trump
presidency, but not because of revenge, but because all of their corruption
will have to stop. Do you ever wonder why it is that there’s never a Democrat
who votes against their party, they vote in a block because the penalty for
voting against the party must be very severe. They don’t want what’s best for
the country they want only what’s best for their party. And although Manchin
may like to portray himself as a ‘centrist,’ he most certainly is not.
Manchin is a globalist, one Hell bent on maintaining
power to the elite, all under the guise of “protecting our democracy” and portraying
himself as a “moderate.” If he was genuinely interested in taking care of his
constituents back home, he wouldn’t continually do just as he is told to do by
Chuckie Schumer. Manchin has never been “middle of the road” kind of guy. Instead,
he’s been a spineless wimp his entire political career, playing up his fake ‘old
timey’ bona fides to the folks back home while keeping to the leftist side of
every critical vote. He caves like a West Virginia coal mine and gets bulldozed
by the worst leftist elements of his party.
And Manchin conveniently forgets, or simply chooses
to ignore, that Joey has been doing the very same things that Democrats have long
accused President Trump of doing or will do if elected. They keep saying
President Trump has no respect for the rule of law, yet it’s they who constantly
ignore it. They continue to accuse him of doing what they have been doing for decades.
They make these generic statements, “Trump is breaking the law,” but what did he
do and how did it violate the law? When did he do it? They have no answers,
just claims of bogus offenses that exist only in their demented minds and in
the pages of their bought-and-paid-for ‘news’ media.
Perhaps the brand of ‘democracy’ Manchin wants to
save, and has benefitted from, needs to be destroyed, so that we can finally return
to the government our Founding Fathers envisioned. Manchin wants to save the
fraud in our elections, legislators doing their time in office and becoming
multi-millionaires in the process, a wide-open Southern border, and a
government that has broken its social contract with the governed. I suggest
that Manchin is very happy with the system of ‘democracy’ that works like a
charm for the ruling class. He needs to get over himself, he’s No Savior, and
he’s no profile in courage. Conceit, hubris, and greed are his calling cards.
Finally, Manchin has
managed to end his career looking more like a stooge of the left than the
independent statesman worthy of being President. It was his support that
enabled passage of the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’ The name itself is
a joke. A year after passage Manchin decried its leftist administration and
implementation by declaring he might repeal it. Realizing he had stepped in dog
shit and was at risk of tracking it across all of West Virginia during a
campaign, he wisely chose not to run. Now his thinking is: Well, if I can’t get
elected to the Senate in my own state, then maybe I should run for President. Manchin,
a loser who’s a legend in his own mind.
